WARNING TO EXPLORERS: THIS FOLLY IS CLOSED, LOCKED AND ALARMED!
This picture and others of Witley have gained a lot of attention over
the past year or so.
At the time that these photos were taken, the ballroom was NOT locked.
You will see I don't have pictures from Lutyens boathouse or the other
underground room as both WERE locked at the time.
Since my visit, I have been informed by a number of sources that the ballroom is now also locked and alarmed. I don't need to point out that breaking into a locked premises is breaking and entering and is illegal; it's also against the generally accepted urban exploration rules (somewhere here: www.forbidden-places.net/why.php).
Due to the above, please don't contact me for access details as I
won't provide them.
I also suggest against visiting Witley as you will have a long walk
around the lake only to be confronted by a padlock. If you get spotted
wandering about private properly with bolt croppers, expect to be
arrested.
Lastly: If you want to use my photos, please just ask me/credit me/drop me a BTC tip: 17Kpxa2LFYPFEjx8xZfegGmgG1mQcqBP4w

This is a room under a lake in Witley Park. It's over 100 years old. I've never seen anything like it before.

This has to be one of my most favourite photos, not only on Flickr, but anywhere; I was dismayed when I thought it had gone. Thanks for coming back!
I would so love to have seen this place.
